Jack Dorsey, former Twitter CEO and cryptocurrency entrepreneur, expressed his desire for Signal to integrate Bitcoin for P2P payments. This proposal indicates potential shifts in the messenger's crypto strategy.
Dorsey supports Bitcoin as a payment method
Dorsey called for Signal to use Bitcoin for P2P payments, responding to a post by Bitcoin developer Calle. He mentioned that Bitcoin is perfectly suited for secure communications in Signal.
Signal and Sentz integration
Founded in 2014, Signal offers payments through Sentz, formerly known as MobileCoin, which faced criticism and concerns regarding transparency around this token. Signal did not respond to inquiries about potential Bitcoin integration.
Trends in crypto payments among messengers
Many messengers, including Telegram, are also adopting altcoins, despite Bitcoin being originally designed for P2P payments. Other industry leaders, like David Marcus, advocate for Bitcoin usage in various applications.
The popularity of Bitcoin as a payment method continues to grow among various platforms, potentially influencing the future integration of cryptocurrencies in messengers.
